"Whoa-Ah-Oh" football song

by Stuka » 22 Feb 2011 16:28

Heard both Stevenage, Watford, and other fans before singing something that sounds like:

Whoa-ah-oh
Whoa-ah-oh
WHOA-ah-oh
Na Na Na Na Na

Can anyone enlighten me as the to the origin of it or what it's based on if anything?

Sung by St pauli fans, then by celtic fans over the last few seasons. I hate it personally, I find it really annoying and thats nothing to do with who sung it first.

Heres Nac bredo singing it, everyone in europe seems to

Irritating or not, it's noise in a football ground and that's why it wont catch on with Reading fans.

Ahh thanks. So I take it this is a European import? Watford fans will be doing the Poznan next.

Always laughed at this song. So terrible. Palace will be doing it Saturday with their 'ultra' group. So sad they've created that.

Don't get youtube at work so you could have just answered it, but is it by any chance "Hey Jude"?

You'll phookin hate me then, as I count myself partially responsible for it's import! :mrgreen:

The first two teams in the UK i heard singing this was Celtic and Palace, you can imagine how Celtic got it from St Pauli, but Palace's HF don't really have a connection to St Pauli except through me. When got back from Hamburg to finish my Degree I livedwith my mate and housemate Duncan Johnston, who had Palace season ticket in the same block as the HF, and he was a HF fellow traveller. I showed him this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHLWclMs_Pw USP video, and then he posted it up on the HF board or blog or whatever. The rest is history.

Edit to add, I can see why people fid it irritating, it's not my favourite St Pauli song, ths ones much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUEwZxcj ... re=related
